Particulars of the Killing of
Grace.


TOMBSTONE, A. T., June 9.-The
Daily Prospector contains the following
details of the killing of Mike Grace
near Crittenden: This morning, after
daylight, the Indians shot several times
into Billy Williams cabin, when he and
Billy Leek were in bed. One bullet
passed through Leek's pants which were
rolled up under his head, and
about that time Mike Grace came
along, and they shot him to death.
Then they left and went up the can on
after Williams horses. Williams and
Leek ran out and grabbed Mikes gun
lying beside him on the ground. The
Indians, knowing they had not killed
those in the cabin, did not venture to
rob Mike. The hostiles lave apparent.
ly divided into small parties, after
ther usual custom, and ara trying to
reach Sonora, Mexico. The first report
that there were but seventeen Indians
out is now thought to be mistake as
bands have been seen in widely differ.

tains in detachments.
w. b. Norton, post trader at San
Carlos, telegraphs that there are hostiles
in the Santa Catalina mountains. This
strengthens the belief that there are a
large number on the warpath. There
are huge forest fires raging in the Pata-
gonia and Santa Barbara mountains near
this place, which were undoubtedly set
on fire by the hostiles.

himself to the eyes of the great throng,

Mackin) in bis speech at the Hoffman
House banquet on Monday night. Nc.
Mackin is very bitter in his denunciation
of O'Brien and those with whom he
associated in New York. The central
idea of the letter is that O'Brien does
not want to free the tenants of Ireland
from landlordiam by nationalizing land,
but merely wants to change landlords;
that, after going to Clnada to denounce
Lord Lansdowne, he comes to New York
and hobnobs with landlords who are
habitually guilty of evictions as cruel as
those practiced against the Luggacuran
tenants of the Governor.General.

ExtensfOl of Utah southern.

New YORK, June 9.-An official of

the story to the effect that the Union
Pacific has purchased Rattlesnake Is
land, near Los Angeles, is not believed
by the bankers. The bankers claim
that there is prospect OF the extension
of the Utah Southern into Southern
California, but that would be more pre-
judicial to the Atchison than to any
other company. The theory that the
Burlington company would join in an
extension has no better foundation. The
laying of third rail on the Denver and

IMPORTANT INVENTION.
NitrO.GIycerine safely Used I'm
PrOiectfles-A Terrible She'll.

SAN Francisco, June ga Russian
inventor named Smolianoff, living here,
makes claim to having discovered the
way in which nitro-glycerine can be
used with safety in projectiles. He has
been experimenting with ten-pound
cannon north of this city. firing four-inch
shells loaded with nitro-glycerine. His
experiments have attracted the atten-
tion of army people and the public. A
test will be made next Saturday. The
shell is made in two parts, in the form
of one conical shell within another,
each of which is filled with liquid. These
liquids are prevented from mingling
wnils the projectle is not to be used;
but the shell is so arranged that when
discharged from the gun one shell is
moved over the other so as to open a
communication between the two cham
bers, thus permitting the two liquids to
mix and form the high explosive known
as nitro. glycerine. This is to be ex-
ploded either by fuse or by the impact.

Paupers Ordered Back to Ireland

New YORK, June 9.-At meeting of
the Emigrant Commissioners of this city
to-day, the question of permitting the
landing of about ninety emigrants from
ireland, who came here on the steamer
City of Chester, came up. The emil
grants had been sent here by the British
government, which paid their passages.
Their admission was objected to on the
ground that they were paupers. The

the landing of three women and one man
and their families, in all twenty-one.
All the others, who are now detained on
Wards island. were ordered to be taken
back by the Inman Steamship Company.
